Skin:

Either

• Highlight: Tan Earth mixed with Dark Flesh Tone

or

• Base: Elf Skin Tone (Vallejo Game Color)
• Shadows: Dark Flesh Tone mixed with Elf Skin Tone
• Highlight 1: Elf Skin Tone mixed with Ivory
• Highlight 2: Ivory

Eyes are Ivory with Black pupils and were painted before the skin.

The figures were varnished in gloss then matt before any metallic paint was used.

The armour and arrowhead were done by trying to roughly follow Angel Giraldez’s true metallic silver tutorial.  Warpaints Gold (Army Painter) mixed with a small spot of Red Leather (Vallejo Model Color) and highlighted with Silver (Vallejo Game Color) mixed with a small spot of white were used on the helmet front piece.

Armour/Arrowhead:

• Base: Black then Gun Metal (Vallejo Model Color)
• Wash in the shadows: a mix of Vallejo Black Wash (Flames of War), Sepia Ink (Vallejo Game Ink) and Blue Ink
• 1st Highlight: Silver mixed with a small spot of white
• Glaze Blue ink in areas then a mix of Blue and Sepia inks nearer the shadows.
• Last Highlight: Silver mixed with a small spot of white

I had some problems with the 1st highlight being gritty due to the bottle at some point being stored upside down, so there was pigment stuck in the nozzle.  Once I took the nozzle off and cleared it the paint was a lot better.
